Pipe Pictures

pipepic1-220 pipepic2-220 In the previous entry I had an exploded view of a set of pipe parts. Out of interest, here is how the exploded view was done.
The whole pipe is made from foam board, a sandwich of two layers of paper around a foam core. Foam board is easy to pin together. The exploded model is pinned into place and a photo taken then the picture dropped into PhotoShop.
To finish, its just a case of tracing round the outside of the parts and filling in the background with white. A drop shadow finishes it off.

I had a bit more success today, I have a working conversion of the pipe with a nice fat sound! I'm now in the process of attaching bellows. - Photograph and, hopefully, sound file to follow. Posted by robives at March 23, 2004 07:12 PM
